The Hollywood Outsider June 27, 2014

There was a lot going on this week in the movie & TV world… Trailers! News! Ridiculousness! Since we cannot cover everything on this week’s The Hollywood Outsider Podcast, here are some of biggest Film or Television news for the week as well as the links or video for you to find out more. If you found something interesting or worth noting, drop them into the comments!

Also, here is this week’s HO if you missed it!

This week’s HO Bits:

Guillermo del Toro confirmed what fans of the first film had been waiting to hear since they first glimpsed a giant robot using the Golden Gate bridge as a baseball bat: Pacific Rim 2 is a go! That’s right, on April 7, 2017 Pacific Rim 2 will officially hit theaters and del Toro will return to direct!

Frank Darabont looks to take over as director on Snow White & The Huntsman 2. Darabont is the acclaimed director behind Shawshank Redemption and The Mist, as well as the creator of The Walking Dead! Funny thing is, they look to be just focusing on The Huntman and Kristen Stewart’s role…of Snow White…will be forced to suck a poisoned apple. Charlize Theron will supposedly return though. Interesting…

The teaser trailer for The Guest finally hit. If you know nothing of this film, head on over to our SXSW episode where Aaron discusses what a fun surprise this was in the theaters. Keep an eye out.

Evil Dead & Spiderman’s Sam Raimi is taking a break to develop the Afghanistan war drama ‘Outpost’. Big change in direction for the normally fantasy grounded Raimi. Will Bruce Campbell still get a cameo??

Hey, Walking Dead fans…don’t you love when Robert Kirkman promises to give us answers on the show? Well, he’s at it again! Here in this interview, Kirkman says there will be plenty of answers for the Season 5 premiere of the show. Mmmmmhmmmmm…

Gear up, anime fans…an Attack on Titan movie is coming!!!

Gary Oldman is the latest victim of the Apology Tour, as his recent words during a Playboy interview caused everyone to lose their damn minds and go after our favorite Commissioner. Apparently people do read the articles…

Brad Pitt brings a little FURY to his new movie, watch the trailer:

Here is an article actually based on OUR interview! How surreal! Check it out, as 24 Spoilers reports on our interview with 24 Live Another Day’s Giles Matthey (which you can hear below!)

They are Rebooting…sorry, SEQUELIZING Predator with Shane ‘Buddy-Cop’ Black at the wheel. Good call or bad call? You decide. But it’s happening regardless.

More Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in this new trailer.
